This is an Northern Ireland recipe given to me by my Mum many years ago!! This cake is always much tastier the following day! Enjoy!

  • 4 cups candied mixed fruit
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.75 cups butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 2 eggs , beaten

Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, and line with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

    Combine the water, mixed fruit, sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and boil gently for about 10 minutes. Sift the flour, baking soda and mixed spice into a large bowl. Pour in the boiled mixture, and stir until well blended. Mix in the eggs. Pour into the greased loaf pan.
